Abstract: The present invention relates to a thread control method of a multi-thread virtual pipeline (MVP) processor, which comprises the following steps: allocating directly and sequentially threads in a central processing unit (CPU) thread operation queue to multi-path parallel hardware thread time slots of the MVP processor for operation; allowing an operating thread to generate hardware thread call instructions corresponding thereto to a hardware thread management unit; allowing the hardware thread management unit to enable the call instructions of ithread threads to form a program queue according to receiving time, and calling and preparing the hardware threads; and allowing the hardware threads to operate sequentially in idle multi-path parallel hardware thread time slots of the MVP processor according to the sequence of the hardware threads in the queue of the hardware thread management unit. The present invention also relates to a processor.
